How They Serve Bandits on the Texas
Boundary.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex, May 3.--At dawn
yesterday morning, in the midst of driv-
ing rain, the Balsa cutoff, above Santa
Maria, Mexican territory, on this side of
the river, and the refuge of about thirty
desperate bandits, thieves and slnugglers,
was raided by forces from both sides Of the
river. Sheriff Breto, of this county, and
Deputy Clansner, OF Hidalgo, with about
fifty rancheros and deputies, entered and
drove out the bandits, who met with warm
reception on the other side from detachment
of the Third Cavalry, under the command
of Col Nieues Hernandez A sharp fight
ensued, in which Col Hernandez was
wounded. A number of the robbers were
captured, several Of whom, well-known
murderers, were executed on. the spot
A large amount of stolen
stock was found, most of which
was returned TO its owners. Sheriff Breto
brought in and jailed two men, Florencia
Almanzar and Dolores Cantu. On account
of the dense brush, number of the most
noted criminals made good their escape
The blow is, however, a severe one to the
disorderly and criminal element, which had
gathered in these cut-offs, as they believed,
safe from pursuit. ripe for any revolution
ary plot, aud maintaining themselves by
robbery and plumber.

A Storage Warehouse With It's Con-
tents Entirely Consumed
NEW YORK, May 3l.--A large eight-story
brick storage warehouse. bounded by
Charlton, West and Washington streets,
and its valuable contents of cotton, rags,
wine and general merchandise, was almost
entirely consumed by fire last night. The
loss is difficult to estimate, but the present cal
culation places it at anywhere from $3.50, ,00Q
to $500, 900. A gang of workmen were busy
on tho ground floor of the building just be-
fore o'clock, and one of them started to go
into an adjacent hallway with a lighted
lamp in his hand He had scarcely reached
the hall when the lamp exploded and scat
terings Of the blazing oil quickly crept from
bale TO bale of the cotton stored all about
the room. An alarm was promptly sounded,
and then second and third, but the in
fiamable nature of tho contents Of the store
house and a strong breeze combined to pro-
duce an unconquerable mass of flames. The
building had frontage of 25 feet on West
street, depth of $50 feet ON King street,
near the extension, running through to
Washington street and wing or covered
courtyard running north to Charlton
street. Water towers were erected extern
sion ladders run up, river fire boata
Gopher Mills and Havemeyer were called
into requisition and lines of hose arranged
on the roof of an adjacent storehouse, but all
efforts TO save the building proved unavail-
ing, and at IL o'clock, though the fire was
under control, the building and its contents
were gutted, and the roof, floors and sec
tions Of outside walls had fallen in. The
brick walls kept the fire from spreading to
the other buildings, but the storage ware
house on the corner of Washington and
King streets was flooded with water.
At the time Of the fire there were about
1000 bales of cotton in the building, a ma
iority OF it belonging to the Morgan Steam
ship Company This cotton was valued at
from $50 TO $50 per bale, and about 30 per
cent Of its value viii be loss. Other goods
stored in the building belonged to about
twenty-fiv or thirty different owners, and
were mainly insured. The building was
leased by John S. Richards, and was
formerly occupied by Booth a. Edgar,
sugar men, who still own it. The loss ON
the building win be about $50, 900, and with
damage to the contents the loss win pr0bar,

Trout

Trout.
PROSPECT HOUSE, N. Y, May 31.-The
taste of trout fishing at Ray Brook that the

and then to North Elba, where they visited
the grave of old John Brown. They re-
turned to Camerons, at Ray Brook, late in
the afternoon. At o'clock the entire party
left the scene Of the trout fishing and were
driven back to this place, arriving soon
after O'Clock. The ladies were delighted
with the opportunity offered them
of visiting the tomb of John Brown,
situated as it is in a remote and
seldom visited spot On their return to the
Saranac Inn the party went Immediately
to their cottages and partook of supper at
about 8. While somewhat tired and sleepy,
the President and his companions have all
been greatly refreshed by their visit The
President has become somewhat sun burned
He had a large mail tonight, but will
attend to no business except matters requir-
ing his immediate consideration.
